I don’t know if it would be possible to do this easily or not, but…
It would make a HUGE difference in the workflow of renoise to have the ability to scroll through & audition samples while they are loaded in an instrument, rather than having to go to the browser to audition and replace samples.
For example, in both Nerve and Battery, if I load a kick from my “kickdrums” folder, I have the ability to swap the sample IN THE INSTRUMENT to the next/previous sample in the folder. This really saves a lot of time with finding complementary sounds and building kits.
Hi. I was really gratified to notice a while ago, that when you are in the Sample Keyzones view, you can select any of the sliceskeyzones, put cursor-focus to disk browser, and move around up/down with the cursor keys, and press enter to replace the kick with a different kick.
edit: had to add keycastr so you see what i press edit2: you can also do the same thing in Sample Editor -view, just select the sample you wish to replace and load a new sample and off you go
